Focused in the characteristic of R&D on Geoscience and Mineral Resources as basic research area, we survey on methods of public works' economic impact analysis including cost-benefit analysis and resent technology evaluation methods and suggest apply-methods to conduct economic impact analysis on R&D of geoscience and mineral resources. To conduct economic impact analysis on the basic research area, it need to identification research's out-come not just output. In this perspective, we propose a method, Input-Output-Outcome Roadmapping to identify the outcome of R&D and show the relation of input, output, and outcome of R&D. Furthermore, noticing the different effects of R&D from public works, we directly evaluate the use-value of the academic theory or geological maps through Contingent Valuation Method(CVM) and others developed as evaluation methods on environmental goods. In indirect application methods, it can evaluate the partial of the pubic works' benefit with assuming R&D factors if R&D is a part of public works. If not, we evaluate the R&D's value as reductions of costs or additions of benefit with finding related public works.

In a study about minerals cycling in grassland agro-ecosystem, investigation on relations among two minerals, potassium(K) and magnesium(Mg), and nitrogen(N) was performed. Four kinds of diets different in K and N levels were fed to four goats with a Latin-square method and $2{\times}2$ factorial design. As the basal diet, press cake silage prepared from Italian ryegrass was used because of its uniformity and comparatively low mineral concentrations. Supplementation of K and N were made using potassium bicarbonate and urea. In the experiment, it was clearly shown that high K concentration in the forage crops is the main reason of the low utilization of Mg in ruminant animals. However, high nitrogen intake resulted in the increase of magnesium retention, urinary potassium excretion, water intake and volume of urine and in the decreases of potassium intake minus urinary potassium excretion. The results of high nitrogen intake seemed to be produced in the following order;increase of urine, increase of water intake, increase of urinary potassium excretion, and decrease of intake minus urinary potassium excretion. The amount of potassium intake minus urinary potassium excretion had significantly close relationships with magnesium utilization and serum magnesium concentration. As a conclusion, higher nitrogen intake by ruminants seemed to be preferable for magnesium utilization through increased water intake and urinary potassium excretion, if the sufficient drinking water could be supplied to ruminants.

The ore deposit of the Ohtani mine is one of repesentatives of plutonic tungsten-tin veins related genetically to acidic magmatism of Late Cretaceous in the Inner zone of Southwest Japan. Based on macrostructures of vein filling on the order of ore body, three major mineralization stages, called stage I, stage II, and stage ill from earliest to latest, are distinguished by major tectonic breaks. The alteration zories are characterized by specific mineral associations in pseudomorphs after biotite. The alteration zones can be divided into two parts, i. e. a chlorite zone and a muscovite zone, each repesenting mineralogical and chemical changes produced by the hydrothermal alteration. The chloritic alteration took place at the beginning of mineralization, and muscovite alteration in additions to chloritic alteration took place at stage II and ill. The alteration zones are considered to be formed by either of two alteration mechanism. 1) The zones are formed by reaction of the rock with successive flows of solution of different composition and different stage. 2) The zones are formed contemporaneously as the solution move outward. Reaction between the solution and the wall-rock results in a continuous change in solution chemistry. The migration of the successive replacement of the fresh zone$\rightarrow$the chlorite zone$\rightarrow$the muscovite zone may have transgressed slowly veinward, leaving metasomatic borders between the different zones.

$SiO_2$ and CaO are added to decrease the smelting temperature in the reduction-smelting method for manganese nodule processing. These elements are components of the manganese nodules and might be very important controlling factors in the processing due to the locally variable content. The 707 chemical data of manganese nodules acquired from 1994 to 2001 in KODOS(Korea Deep Ocean Survey) area were used for the hierarchical cluster analysis. The chemical data were classified by the morphological types, and the averages of the chemical data for each station were classified by the facies groups and the localities. All data are plotted on the $SiO_2-CaO-MnO$ phase diagram at $1773^{\circ}K$ to compare with the best compositional area in the nodule smelting. Variations and distributions of $SiO_2$ and CaO in KODOS nodules were also reviewed. The mineral phases assigned by the cluster analysis are CFA(Carbonate Fluorapatite), Fe-oxide, Al-silicate, and Mn-oxide. MnO contents are generally higher than $SiO_2$ contents in most of the morphological types except for the Is- and It-type. The Dt- and Tt-type show wider range and the E-types show high anomaly in their CaO contents. The stations which belong to facies group A and B show generally higher MnO contents than $SiO_2$ contents, however, the stations of facies group C and D show wide range in their MnO and $SiO_2$ contents. It seems to be very important to control the $SiO_2$ contents in the processing because of the wide range in the northern area. The additions of approximately 10 wt.% CaO and 10 wt.% $SiO_2$ are recommended for the northern area, whereas, the additions of approximately 10 wt.% CaO and 20 wt.% $SiO_2$ are recommended for the southern area.

This study was designed to investigate the possible utilization of mugwort as a source of functional ingredients. The approximate composition for mugwort powder was 5.06% moisture, 1.98% crude protein, 4.65% crude fat, 5.85% ash and 82.46% carbohydrate. The highest mineral content was potassium. The contents of total phenolic compounds and condensed tannin were 114 mg% and 11,000 mg%, respectively. The highest electron donating ability(EDA) was observed from the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions of mugwort powder but the lowest was shown by the hexane fraction. In color values, with increasing mugwort powder content, the 'lightness', 'redness' and 'yellowness' decreased in the crust, while in the crumb bread the 'lightness' decreased and the 'redness', and 'yellowness' increased. With the addition of mugwort powder as a substitute for strong flour over the range from 2.5% to 10.0%, the ratio of the volume and specific volume of white bread decreased while its weight increased. In the texture measurements for white breads, the hardness decreased slightly with the addition of 2.5% mugwort powder, but then increased with further additions of mugwort up to 10.0%. The addition of 2.5% mugwort powder increased the springiness and gumminess of white bread. The highest sensory scores for color, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptance as evaluated by a student sensory panel were obtained from white bread with 2.5% mugwort powder and from the control. The highest sensory scores as evaluated by a baker sensory panel were obtained from white bread with 2.5% mugwort powder. In ranking test, overall acceptability of white bread was the highest in the control. Overall acceptance scores by sensory evaluation of white bread with 2.5% mugwort powder were not significantly different from those of control.

This study was performed to observe the quality characteristics of Eunhakong dasik and Small Black Soybean dasik prepared with different addition rates of chlorella powder. For the Hunter's color values, the $L^*,\;a^*,\;and\;b^*$ values of both dasiks decreased with the addition of chlorella powder. The cohesiveness and gumminess of both dasiks were not dependant on the chlorella powder additions. However, the hardness of the Eunhakong dasik with 8% chlorella powder increased. The springiness and brittleness of the Eunhakong dasik had a tendency to decrease as the addition rate of the chlorella powder increased. In terms of sensory quality, both the dasiks were improved by the addition of 4% chlorella powder. Therefore, in subsequent examinations, the chemical characteristics of both dasiks were determined for the 4% addition of chlorella powder. The moisture and crude lipid contents of both dasiks were not influenced by the addition of chlorella powder. Carbohydrate content was highest in the Eunhakong dasik with 0% chlorella powder, and in the Small Black Soybean dasik with 4% chlorella powder. Conversely, crude protein content was highest in the Eunhakong dasik with 4% chlorella powder, and in the Small Black Soybean dasik with 0% chlorella powder. The crude lipid content of the Small Black Soybean dasik with 4% chlorella powder was lower than that of the control without chlorella powder. For mineral content, the K content of both dasiks was not influenced by the addition of chlorella powder. The Ca, Mg, and P contents of both dasiks with 4% chlorella powder, respectively, were lower than those of the dasik with 0% chlorella powder. Finally, the total amino acid content of the Eunhakong dasik tended to decrease, while that of the Small Black Soybean dasik incrased, with the 4% addition of chlorella powder.

This study was carried out to investigate antimutagenic and anticancer effects of ethanolic extract of Korean traditional doenjang added sea tangle. Most of the mineral content of doeniang was increased by addition of sea tangle. In the Ames test, the antimutagenic effect of ethanol extract of Korean traditional doenjang added 5% sea tangle was higher than that of control (no additive), 10%, and 15% sea tangle additions. The inhibition rate of ethanol extract (200$\mu\textrm{g}$/plate) of doenjang added 5% sea tangle in the S. typhimurium TA100 strain showed 97.0% inhibition against the mutagenesis induced by MNNG. In addition, the suppression of ethanol extract (200$\mu\textrm{g}$/plate) of doenjang added 5% sea tangle in the S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100 strains showed 60.2% and 69.1% inhibition respectively, against the mutagenesis induced by 4NQO. The suppressions under the same condition against B($\alpha$ )P and Trp-P-1 in the TA98 and TA100 strains were 71.7% and 87.3%, and 66.6% and 80.8%, respectively. In the anticancer effects, the cytotoxicity of doenjang added 5% sea tangle on the cell lines with human lung carcinoma (A549), human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), and human gastric carcinoma (KATOIII) were inhibited with increasing the extract concentration. The treatment of 1.0 mg/mL Doenjang added 5% sea tangle showed strong cytotoxicity of 56.4%, 87.67%, and 89.5% against A549, HepG2, and KATOIII, respectively.
